18 Dec 2019 --- Greater public investment in agriculture and rural areas and improved quality of spending is needed to realize goals relating to food security and nutrition in Europe and Central Asia (ECA). This is according to a new report from the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), which reveals that a high number of people in ECA are affected by moderate food insecurity, such as limited food and access to nutritious food, as well as being overweight or obese. FAO hopes that the new report helps identify issues and options for a more informed dialogue and concerted action by all partners to accelerate the collective progress toward the goal of a hunger-free and healthy ECA.
